He's not stupid.
He cant be without an income, though I think his income is way lower than Pearlman and Jenkins.
Lots of people will be watching his situation. and many will be impressed by what he has done on and off the pitch.
When a decent opportunity comes up, I expect him to resign, and leave. And am sure he will have a good claim for constructive dismissal, so no compensation will be required.
he may even have a break clause at the end of the season, anyway.
